Scanning students' rooms during remote tests is unconstitutional, judge rules

One is a government requirement for safety, one is a voluntary but financially forced requirement by a government (usually) supported educational organization where they can just monitor hand movements and face with no need for the entire room to ensure no cheating (assuming it has an OS monitor)

No, their red flag is an up front technical screen before you talk to anyone to find out if you want the job.

I was barely able to maintain a professional response to this request. If you've worked at one before, it should come as no surprise that it was a financial firm.

I do a few interviews a month for our group. I get cheaters every once in a while.

Most of them use a second window to look up answers. This is pretty obvious, from watching them in the webcam, and where they pause. This is also easy to detect, since they'll fail with more abstract questions that don't have an answer you can just look up. For example, tell them to go deep into a project that they have on their resume. Nearly every time, they eventually say, directly or not, that their part was minimal. I don't think anyone has to worry about these people.

But, recently, one person almost made it all the way through, before getting to me. From what I can guess, they had someone in a separate video call, watching the screen and listening to the interview, giving them the answers. I think a language barrier, for the person giving the answers, was the only reason they eventually fell flat. This is a problem that worries me. How do you filter these people, if firing is extremely frowned upon in your org? The only real initial hint that I had was the abysmal typing speed vs claimed experience, which is not a reason that you can write down, for why you failed someone, without looking like some sort of elitist.

I think this will eventually become a real problem, with remote interviews. I think in person, or monitoring, is the only way to catch something like this. But, how do you do an in person interview with a remote team? You either make your requirements even more impossible, or you change the culture of your org to accept that new people may have to be let go, without it being the hiring managers fault (not going to happen).
